Excel error: Permission to use object denied

[danestewart]

I have some new computers setup with Windows XP and Office 97. When
go into Excel and open a spreadsheet, I get a Microsoft Visual Basi
errorermission to use object denied. The spreadsheet will not open.


The error happens with every spreadsheet I try to open on tha
computer. If I copy the spreadsheet to another computer, it open
without complaint. The other computer is also running XP and Excel 97
but was installed a few months ago.

Any ideas

The following article may be of some help, althought your problem is
slightly different.

Worst case, un-install and re-install office from a CD, not a server.

Reinstalling from the CD did the trick. It's weird that the network
install (CD files copied to the network) would be different installing
from off the CD. But, I can't argue with success.

Thanks for the suggestion!
